For some strange reason, we've never been to this before, despite living in the next village for 9 years!
Ho-hum, packed up the camera and went to have a crack at shooting the planes and tanks etc.
Sadly my longest usable lens only goes to 210mm, so I was enviously eying up some of the more well equipped togs with 100-400s and 300 primes, but you've got to go with what you've got!
Anyway, here's a selection of shots.
First up, the Hurricane. This actually came in to land and take off from a grass airstrip on site, which was unusual in itself.
Next to appear was one of two P51 Mustangs, "Marinell".
This was followed up by the appearance of the Vulcan which replicated a bombing run made by a Vulcan during the Falklands war. Note the red glow in the bomb bay reflecting the large pyrotechnic that went off on the ground.
and the aftermath...

There then followed a skirmish between Allied and German re-enactors which was pretty impressive. There's a tank and an armoured car in here, so I'll include it in transport!
More pics to come in part 2.
